• Sometimes, losing weight can be more of a
  medical reason than a cosmetic purpose. Obesity
  can be the cause of so many other health problems
  like diabetes, heart problems, asthma, joint
  pains and many more. While there are so many ways
  to lose weight by opting for a healthier
  lifestyle, taking up the gym, yoga, aerobics or
  Zumba classes, avoiding calories, all these
  methods take significantly longer to show
  results. And if you need to lose weight, really
  soon and quickly, the weight loss surgery can
  help you out. It is also known as bariatric
  surgery.

• Thinking about a surgery to help you lose
  weight can be frightening when you do not have
  all the information about it. So here, in this
  article, you can read about the three common
  types of surgeries for weight loss and decide
  what you want to opt for.

First of all, there are two main ways in which
the surgery helps.

• Restriction the operation performed limits the
  amount of food you can eat by restricting hunger
  and stomach size.
• Malabsorption A part of small intestine is
  bypassed or shortened to limit the number of
  calories it can absorb.

Types of Weight Loss Surgeries

• 1.Gastric Bypass Surgery During this surgery,
  the surgeon reduces the size of your stomach so
  it can hold much lesser food than what it could
  hold before. Here, the surgeon creates a small
  pouch over the stomach and connects it to the
  middle of the small intestine. Here, as the food
  bypasses the original size of the stomach and a
  little part of small intestine and travels much
  lesser, the body doesnt get to absorb a lot of
  calories.

• 2.Gastric Sleeve This weight loss surgery aims
  at making your stomach smaller, by removing a
  part of it and the results end up making your
  stomach look like a banana, a lot smaller
  thinner. The surgery results in lesser hunger and
  quick fulfilment. Here in this surgery, only the
  stomachs size is reduced, unlike the gastric
  bypass surgery. The surgery, however, can never
  be undone. The persons stomach will always
  remain this size.

• 3.Gastric Banding Like all other surgeries, this
  surgery also makes your stomach smaller. However,
  this surgery isnt permanent, and the person can
  opt out of it. In this surgery, the surgeon puts
  a band around the top part of the stomach,
  restricting its size. This band is linked to a
  port which is placed on to the skin of the
  person, and it enables the surgeon to adjust the
  band by either tightening it or loosening it.
  This weight loss surgery can be undone, and a
  person can get the band removed when they no
  longer need it.

• One thing that you need to understand is that
  surgery for weight loss is not a magic fix to all
  your weight issues. Risks and side effects are a
  part of it, so please take a wise decision.
